Authorities in California charged a New Jersey man with posing as a New England Patriots player, allowing him to purchase versions of the team’s 2016 Super Bowl ring.
The rings with the name "Brady" engraved on them were supposedly used as gifts to relatives of quarterback Tom Brady, and one was sold for $337,000 at an auction.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Central District of California, 24-year-old Scott V. Spina Jr. is charged with one count of mail fraud, three counts of wire fraud and one count of aggravated identity theft.
